Stunning curb appeal from this stately hip roofed colonial home, w/a columned front entry, shuttered windows, & even a cupola! The outside is a "tell all" for what awaits inside. A grand front to back foyer houses the open spindled staircase, & leads to every room, one more lovely than the next. The kitchen/DR has been opened up for maximum space & functionality. The corner hutch reminds you of days gone by, while the custom peninsula with granite top & cabinets below allow you to live for today! The LR is warm & inviting w/a gorgeous mantled FP, & a full wall of built-ins to hold family memories. Behind a glass french door, your home office/den awaits. Wait till you see this mudroom... New, & fantastic...& even has a sliding "barn" door. Upstairs are 4 generous bedrms. The yard is PERFECTION! C/a!
